WW8: footnote/endnote numbering not exported/imported correctly when no footnote inserted

1. Create a new text document. 2. Go to Tools->Footnotes... 3. Go to the tab Endnotes. 4. Set numbering to "a, b, c, ..." 5. Save the document as "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" 6. Close the document. 7. Open the file. 8. Go to Tools->Footnotes... 9. Go to the tab Endnotes. Now the numbering is "i, ii, iii, ...", which is not what the document had before saving it. Not sure whether the but is in open-import or save-export, so I just guessed.
MRU->HBRINKM: when no footnote is inserted in the document and the format is changed e.g. to "a, b, c..." the new format will not be saved in WW8 format. It works fine, when footnotes have already been inserted into the document.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
